Each year Australia wastes an average of 7.3 million tonnes of food, and now experts are calling for the urgent introduction of national sustainable consumption goals to help halve that figure within the next decade.
According to a new report, huge changes from policymakers, businesses and the public are needed to cut the 7.3 million tonnes of food waste in half.
The report’s key recommendations for national action include building food waste reduction into national climate policies, and adopting a ‘target, measure, act’ approach to enable at scale food waste reductions.
Food packaging is often viewed as having a negative impact on the environment. However, packaging can protect food, prolong shelf life, and reduce environmental impact by reducing food waste.
